A new start for Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

Biggest of Mooloo and her BF came to visit, so I havent done the things I had planned. Luckily dinner is already in the slow cooker.
She wanted to borrow DS's tent, (Actually it was hers originally), and a couple of sleeping bags ready for a rally they are going on next weekend.
While she was here she helped sort out the under the stairs cupboard, so that the AF foods are now sorted into order. Minus a few bits and pieces that she has taken to try at her home. She couldnt believe the prices when I showed her the invoice that came with the last order.
However if she wants more things, she will have to pay me for them!.
I will be getting stronger about things. I will.
DS came home, stopped about 5 minutes then said he had to go back to see twin1 as he had left his keys and his wallet there!. So what a waiste of fuel.
Biggest of Mooloo brought me two packets of throat sweets. But so far the tickle is annoying me, and I cannot stop coughing!.
Took my lunchtime tablets a bit late, and I feel quite dizzy at the moment. So I dont think it would be a good idea to go out and start on the garden. Pity, as that is really running a mock. Well the weeds are!

I will be getting stronger about things. I will.

It's not so much strength or weakness, more about being totally realistic. If you start saying 'no' you'll be surprised at how often that will be accepted. Plus they will all get used to you saying no, instead of automatically expecting you'll always say yes.

I'm totally not trying to frighten you, but have you checked out all your symptoms on the NHS Swine Flu website ?

No, havent thought about Swine Flu. I just thought I had a sore throat and a cough. No sign of cold like symptons, or temperature. But If I do get signs of anythingelse I will check it out.
Put the dizzyness I feel down to my tablets. Sometimes I do get a bit light headed and dizzy. But I must admit I have been feeling it more this last few days.
Lets hope that its not. I am in enough isolation as it is at the moment. And no wine/or beer to indulge in!.

I have had a read of the NHS site. I doubt I am infected, I havent got a temperature at all. But I will keep an eye on myself. Stay away from the twins and babies just incase.
If I am worse tomorrow I will warm twin2 that I might not be able to take her for her scan.

Good Luck with the treatments SuziQ. I will be thinking of you.
AF is Approved Foods. If you look at the front of the Living on £4,000 a year challenge there is a link too them. It is a site that sells near date/out of best before date at silly prices really.
They have all sorts of different things.
My best buy is the "extras" like biscuits and cakes. Drinks, crisps and choc bars. DS loves Mr Del Monte-fruitini Juice Jellys, and 6 packets of 4 Jellys were £1.98 so thats a lot of jelly. There are loads of things but its never quite the same. My soap powder was £1.90 for two packets.
The postage is the most expensive, but always had well worth deliveries. My cupboard under the stairs, has sauce mixes, tea bags, crisps, biscuits, jelly, porridge oats and instant soups. Biggest of Mooloo calls it my "War" cupboard.

Been dashing in and out of various threads all evening! Munching too many of DS's sweet/biscuits and choccy bars. Having a hot chocolate fix now!.
DS is helping babysit for twin1s, BGP. So he is not going to be back until quite late now.
So much for him spending the evening with me. Obviously a night with Mum is a bit boring.
Watching TV, sort of.

Well I think my knee is getting over warm with the laptop on it for hours on end.
Going to switch off now, and watch end of Frost, then have an early night. Hopefully the coughing will have subsided by then. Or at least that it wont keep me awake all night.

Well Ihave been trying to have a positive morning. So miss being with BF.!!
When I text him he just said keep busy! So I am trying to. But my arm is not playing the game, and I am still feeling very light headed, or is that heavy headed, or cotton wool head. Which ever. My head is not feeling like my own!.
The rain has stopped so I have put out a load on the line, as its so windy. Neighbour said hello. Must try to engage them in conversation a bit more.
Noticed that there is a stray sweetpea popping up near the barn out there. I will have to clear the weeds from around it and see if I can put a stick in for it to attach too.
Just heard a bike, wonder if that is DS coming home?
He is hardly here anymore.
Agh spoke too soon its raining again.

Still on my own. No sign of DS afterall.
Not feeling very good. So I am going to go and have a lie down. Think I will miss the lunch time tablets and see if I still feel so bad later. I really am feeling disorientated somewhat.
